Poop FAIL

Today Elise was sitting on the couch playing with me.  I started smelling something, but thought she probably just tooted.  I didn't think she pooped because it's usually heard around the world... WRONG.  I picked her up to set her on my lap and noticed on the back of her sleeper a little "residue."  I thought to myself... "oh she pooped up her diaper, again.  Not the end of the world."  I carried her into her room and laid her on the changing pad.  I could not prepare myself for what I was about to encounter.  Words cannot even describe the brutality this child committed.  Luckily I had my cell phone handy because I need physical evidence of this catastrophe for my blog you know I have to keep my husband in the loop about what our child does all day.  So I made sure to snap some cell phone photos to assure him that I was earning my keep around here.  Someone please explain to me how this happens...
After I got the diaper off, I was almost certain I was going to need a mask.  I managed to get it folded up and thrown in the diaper genie without getting much on me.  Then I attempted to start cleaning her up with some baby wipes, but that was a lost cause.  I would lift her up to wipe, but then would have to lay her back down and she just kept laying in it and spreading it everywhere.  This is where my "idea" turned into a FAIL.  I immediately scooped her up and laid her in some water in our bathtub.  Because of course it's much easier to just rinse the poop off her and down the drain.  To my horror I noticed poop particles floating everywhere.  My poor child was laying and splashing in poopy water.  Then I started emptying the tub, rinsing her, rinsing the tub, re-filling, more washing, more rinsing.  It was an environmental disaster to say the least.  After she was done in the bath tub I couldn't lay her on her changing pad for obvious reasons so I left her bundled up in her towel and laid her down in her crib praying she wouldn't violate it (I don't know how she could have anything left inside her after that).  I had to get all the clothes out of the dryer, throw the ones in the washer in the dryer, and start a new load so I could get all the poopy stuff immediately in the washer!
I thought I should just throw her sleeper away, but instead I almost emptied a bottle of Spray & Wash on to it, since I just bought this last week and it's one of the few that aren't too small for her.  Luckily the giant poop stain came out.  And I'm sure my child is five pounds lighter and feels 100% better!
